My very first night photograph. Seeing so many excellent nightscapes on local photography forums, I was so proud to finally have one of my own. The only camera I had then was my Canon S3is, a point and shoot, and the tripod was just a flimsy one borrowed from A’s dad who got it cheaply from a thrift store.

Like me, I assume most newbie’s in the hobby are quite proud of their first “long exposure moment”.
